Pottery, Candles and Paint

Near Philadelphia, pottery wheel and handbuilding classes cater to adults, kids and grown up and me pairs. Candle making classes, including one with a matching room spray, make a calm night out, and paint and sip nights run at a Philadelphia beer garden and a Pittsburgh bar. A date night photography class for two adds something different. Fresh classes are added often, so the lineup keeps growing.

Gift Ideas for Every Occasion
